Where a casual or part-time employee is unemployed on a public holiday or during periods of compulsory annual leave and where s/he has no accrued entitlement to pay, a jobseeker’s payment may be made, subject to all other scheme conditions being satisfied.

Specific queries in relation to entitlement to pay in respect of public holidays or annual leave should be addressed to the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
